MS-SQL 中的“START WITH”等效表达式

Question

Oracle SQL 支持START WITH表达式。例如，

CREATE VIEW customers AS
SELECT LEVEL lvl, customer_code, customer_desc, customer_category 
FROM customers_master
START WITH some_column = '0'
CONNECT BY PRIOR CUSTOMER_CODE = PARENT_CUSTOMER_CODE;

如果表包含分层数据，则可以使用分层查询子句按分层顺序选择行。

START WITH指定层次结构的根行。

CONNECT BY指定层次结构的父行和子行之间的关系。

MS-SQL 是否有等效的表达式？

不直接。您可以使用递归 CTE（公用表表达式），如下所示，这需要更多的编写：

;WITH RecursiveCTE AS
(
    -- Anchor (START WITH)
    SELECT
        customer_code, 
        customer_desc, 
        customer_category,
        Level = 1
    FROM
        customers_master AS C
    WHERE
        C.some_column = '0'

    UNION ALL

    -- Recursive join
    SELECT
        C.customer_code, 
        C.customer_desc, 
        C.customer_category,
        Level = R.Level + 1
    FROM
        RecursiveCTE AS R -- Note that we are referencing a table that we are just declaring as CTE
        INNER JOIN customers_master AS C ON
            R.CUSTOMER_CODE = C.PARENT_CUSTOMER_CODE
)
SELECT
    R.*
FROM
    RecursiveCTE AS R

需要稍微回顾一下递归连接的列，但您应该明白了。
